MEDIA ADVISORY: ARB to crack down on Imperial Co. trucks

CALEXICO -
The Air Resources Board is working with the CA Highway Patrol to conduct inspections on heavy duty trucks traveling in and around Imperial County. The effort is a follow-up to ARB's successful "Gear Up For Clean Trucks" campaign in August, during which more than 4000 inspections were conducted on vehicles at 40 locations throughout the state.

WHERE: On CA Highway 7, just south of the intersection of Highway 7 and Highway 98. The location is east of Menvielle Road and north of the CHP Calexico Inspection Facility. (Look for a long pull-out area with CHP and Truck Inspections signage.)
